People turned out this morning to pay their respects to a much-loved member of the community who was found dead at her home in shocking circumstances. The funeral of Freda Walker, 86, took place at the Holy Trinity Parish Church in Shirebrook with husband Ken attending in a wheelchair as he recovers from injuries sustained in the same incident that took his beloved wife's life.
Mrs Walker was found dead in her house on Station Road, Langwith Junction, by a neighbour on Saturday, January 15, with her husband, Ken, left in a critical condition in hospital. Derbyshire police launched a murder investigation shortly afterwards as the community began to try and understood what happened to the popular couple, reports Derbyshire Live.
In the days following the incident, many tributes were paid to Mrs Walker and her husband, whose condition has since improved. This morning (Thurs, April 14) dozens of people came to pay their respects to Mrs Walker.
